About our bathroom resealing in Walderslade
Homes in Walderslade have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We’re often asked to deal with a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and a joint torn by a bath that flexes, on kitchen worktops & upstands, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
Smaller places like Walderslade still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans off the bead. A dry joint lasts longer.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Why act early in Walderslade
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you do not see: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. Around Walderslade, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

Common questions in Walderslade
Do you work for landlords with property near Chatham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Walderslade?
Yes. Walderslade is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What colours of sealant can you use?
You’re not limited to white: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Common problems we fix in Walderslade
Silicone does not last for ever. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
If you look after a building such as Tunbury Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Walderslade homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as St William's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For landlords with property near Chatham station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

What else we do in Walderslade
How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, including the tidy-up. In a smaller place like Walderslade, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
